Read the Passage: 1 Kings 12:1-24

My question is: what makes a leader worth following?

Today I want to show you that great leaders have two commitments. They have a commitment to wisdom, and a commitment to service. And I believe all of us can make these two commitments, and we can become the kinds of leaders that God made us to be. ‘

That’s what our Bible story is about. Today I want to tell you the story of King Rehoboam. Rehoboam was the fourth king of Israel, after King Saul and King David and King Solomon. And Rehoboam is famous for doing everything wrong. He’s famous for failing in the most spectacular way. And his story was put in the Bible to teach us how NOT to lead.
